Who should get Kidney Function Test Basic (KFT)(BUN, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid) done in Surat?

Surat's hot, humid summers with temperatures near 40°C create significant dehydration and kidney-stone risk, especially for diamond-polishing and textile workers in Varachha, Katargam, and Udhna who work long hours indoors with limited water intake. Kidney testing matters most for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, recurrent kidney stones, or long-term use of painkillers such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. In Surat, residents of Sarthana, Adajan, and areas with variable water quality or high summer heat face added dehydration-related renal stress, making annual checks worthwhile from age 30.
